Cape Egmont — Bottle Houses 1Image by dugspr — Home for Good
The Bottle Houses are located at Cap-Egmont, Prince Edward Island, on the gorgeous east coast of Canada. They were built by the late Édouard T. Arsenault. In 1979 Édouard received a postcard from his daughter of a glass bottle castle she had visited on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, he was so captivated by it, that he was instantly inspired to make his own glass bottle creation. That same summer, he started collecting bottles from his community, from a local restaurant, community dance halls, friends, relatives and neighbours. He spent the winter in the basement of his home, cleaning bottles, removing labels and dreaming of his project. In the spring of 1980, at the age of 66, he began construction of his pet project, not quite sure where it was going to take him. As his six-gabled structure was taking form, visitors started coming in. Impressed by his work, they encouraged him to continue and to advertise it as a tourist attraction. And so, in 1981, the first Bottle House was open to the public. From 1980 to the spring of 1984, he cleverly cemented over 25,000 bottles of various shapes, sizes and colours, into three fantasy-like buildings.

Yesterday, on post-Valentine’s Day clearance, I found two small, dry, leftover, sad-looking miniature rose plants. I wasn’t going to pick them up and take them home, except that we’ve had this hanging planter outside our apartment all this time … and it’s been empty except for some mold and cigarette butts, and I figured, "Well, hell. Potting soil is only about and I’ve got the afternoon off." So I took the little roses home, cleaned out the hanging pot, and look — they’re already looking spiffier, and starting to open.

Yes, it is an uncommonly nice day today.

I curtained off my crafting space so she doesn’t have to stare into it and so the wimpy heater doesn’t have to try and heat that space. And that way I can work up there without being in her space.
